Re: [WIP] Japanese input method for Sailfish OS
 

Big thank you to you and Penguin! I now managed to build a working rpm, and I also included the post-install, post-uninstall commands suggested by Penguin...

Too bad that I implemented Korean keyboard two weeks ago, and did not announced it yet :(

Re: [WIP] Japanese input method for Sailfish OS
 

Nice to meet you, Behold.

I am so interested about input method and keyboard in Sailfish, since a traditional chinese input methos is still not readily available. May I have your experience about developing one input method?

Thank you very much !

Hey Behold,

I can type Japanese with your IM on Android apps, but on native apps I just get latin text, anthy never seems to kick in. Any ideas? (I even rebooted the phone.)

Re: [WIP] Japanese input method for Sailfish OS
 

Yeah, I've been getting the same. It started happening since a recent Sailfish OS update, so there's probably been some change to how layouts are handled. I haven't had much time to work on this project lately, but I'll see if I can find what the problem is here over the weekend. No promises though.

Re: [WIP] Japanese input method for Sailfish OS
 

All right, I've pushed a small fix and updated the jolla-anthy-jp package. It should be a bit better about switching to the correct input handler now. Note though that you might still have trouble getting it working in for example the browser, or at least I had, because Maliit reports 'predictionEnabled' as false for some input fields, which will cause the input handling code in jolla-keyboard to fallback on a more basic input handler. This affects not only the Japanese input method, though, but all other input methods as well.

Edit: The problem is mentioned here: https://together.jolla.com/question/...king-features/

I did notice today I'm not getting prediction in the browser with English, either.

Re: [WIP] Japanese input method for Sailfish OS
 

Hi,

I am using your japanese input method for some time now but the crash rate (when choosing other than the first suggestion) is pretty bad on my end so I am trying to track the bug down.

Using gdb, I found that it crashes in libanthy when swapping the suggestions around to make the one with the highest score in the first place and it seems the memory is in pretty bad shape within the suggestions' dictionary.

I'd like to trying a workaround for now (just commenting out the swap process) but I have a hard time figuring out how you managed to compile libanthy using the source available in your repository on github…

Could you help me?

Re: [WIP] Japanese input method for Sailfish OS
 

I am experiencing the same behavior as razcampagne, to be honest it makes it very hard to input Japanese, I can't even select my wife's name ^-^;;

Re: [WIP] Japanese input method for Sailfish OS (now with 99% less crashes)
 

All right, I've updated jolla-anthy-jp to version v0.03 which *should* fix the frequent crashes. Please report any issues you're having.

I'd like to extend a thank you to razcampagne and p2501 for taking some time to look into the issue and pointing me in the right direction which enabled me to finally find a working workaround.
